Their culture helps them comprehend and make sense of themselves as individuals and members of various groups. Cultures predispose individuals to develop perspectives, make assumptions, create ideas, and behave in particular ways. Cultures are similar in how they influence individuals but they differ in the specifics of their influence. All cultures have systems of knowledge, values, traditions, and beliefs; yet the specifics of each may vary widely.Each cultural system is also unique. Cultures and systems within cultures are dynamic, ever-changing, and highly influential on the thoughts and actions of those who belong to them. Learners should be able to engage independently in in-depth analysis of any cultural group or subgroup and in-depth comparison of any two or more cultural groups or subgroups. They should be able to connect their comprehension of cultural groups to the realities of cultural diversity within multicultural societies and consider how culturally different groups can cooperate to enhance the public good.C3.1 Language Patterns – Niger Congo, Patois, Geechee, Ceole, Gullah, Black English, Spanlish; slangC3.2 Polyrhythmic musicC3.2A Exchange of food; disease; political ideologiesC3.3 European Africans- Moors and JewsIn England, Amsterdam, Russia, Africans and Native Americans, Caribbean Africans; Jamaicans, Puerto Ricans, Central and South American Africans, Canadian AfricansVocabulary – See unit 3 vocab. list.

As more Africans were shipped to the Americas, many more native born African American increased the population of Africans living a life of involuntary servitude. A very select number of African Americans were allowed to live their lives in freedom. The larger and wiser the Black population became, the more White Americans sought ways to justify the relegation of African American to less than human roles.By investigating interdependent economies throughout the world over time and place, students should be able to trace the maritime trading routes that linked the African continent to the “New World” and led to continued aggression toward Blacks in the Diaspora.

African Americans found and maintained the strength, courage and fortitude to forge ahead in the battle for equality for themselves and their children. Although Black Americans; legally free American citizens, the rights and freedoms guaranteed in the Bill of Rights, were not fully extended to African American citizens. “Separate but equal” remained the law of the land. Through civil disobedience and other forms of protest, the U.S. Constitution has been amended to further protect the rights of African American citizens. The battles were waged and as a result African-Americans now enjoy many freedoms denied to their ancestors.This study involves learning about the important roles and contributions made by individuals and groups in the fight against American oppression.Unit 6 Essential Question(s):What to think aboutNCSS, COMMON CORE STATE & NYS SOCIAL STUDIES STANDARDSContentWhat to teachResources/Learning ActivitiesHow to teach & with whatStudent Performance Expectations What students should be able to do with masteryEQ6.1: What were the various resistance tactics created by oppressed Africans who were enslaved in North American and the Caribbean?
